On Tuesday, three-time French Open champion Serena Williams made her return to Grand Slam tennis with a 7-6 (4), 6-4 win over Kristyna Pliskova.

Williams looked a lot better than she did when she returned to action at Indian Wells, where she won two matches before losing in straight sets to her sister, Venus. She also looked nothing like the player that lost in straight sets to Naomi Osaka in the first round of the Miami Open a week later.

Having Serena back on tour is exciting for everyone, as she has been a force on the court since the second she debuted at the WTA level. But Williams can also make headlines beyond just playing her game.

Williams wore a stylish black catsuit in her first match back, and that had the world buzzing on social media. Here is what she posted on Twitter about the outfit choice:
